Houston Astros vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
The Seattle Mariners are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they're at home and Bryan Woo has been great. However, the Mariners are slumping at the wrong time, and a championship roster like the Astros smells blood in the water. The Houston Astros are putting things together at the right time, and you can trust this roster given the history. Also, Ronel Blanco has held his own as well. The fact the Astros are underdogs makes them tough to turn down. Give me the Astros to stay hot.
